The Georgia Bulldogs showed little to no mercy on the Florida Gators, as the 'Dawgs picked up a 42-7 victory.
Georgia running backs Sony Michel, Nick Chubb and Elijah Holyfield played big parts in the win for the Bulldogs each scoring at least one touchdown. Michel scored two touchdowns, going for 137 yards on just six carries. Chubb had the bulk of the carries with 13 for 77 yards. Quarterback Jake Fromm went 4-7 for 101 yards, one touchdown and one interception.
The 'Dawgs defense looked great, sacking quarterback Feleipe Franks five times. They scored a defensive touchdown on a pick six as well, and allowed only 66 passing yards. They dominated the Gators offense. Even though they got stomped, there was a bright side to this situation. They didn't get shut out, which would have a stopped a 368-game scoring streak.
Franks completed seven of his 19 passes for 30 yards and the one pick six. He had two fumbles, one for a loss. Lamical Perine led the team in rushing yards with 93 on 16 carries. Mark Thompson scored Florida's only touchdown late in the fourth quarter. Malik Zaire replaced Franks at the QB position in the fourth and look pretty decent which we may see a change in the next game.
After taking a huge loss, Gators head coach Jim McElwain lands himself in a very hot seat currently, but for other serious reasons. The university is currently discussing the severity of his situation, according to reports from ESPN.
The Gators are currently on a three-game losing streak. The team has a chance of winning two of the next three games, where they will play Missouri, South Carolina and UAB.
Georgia's schedule looks a bit harder as they have South Carolina and Auburn coming up. Can they stay undefeated and win the SEC East? There's a strong chance it will happen.


I love poems, and think many of my readers will relate to this. There is a lot to love about classic poetry, and they overwhelmingly rich with content. Below is my personal take on "My Last Duchess" and the deep sexism that is revealed throughout it. I hope you like!
"Nineteenth-century bourgeois masculinity was characterized by a rigid program of male self-discipline and control necessary for conformity to the hegemonic parameters of patriarchy (151)," argues Tyler Efird, whose study of sexism within Victorian literature examines the works of poet Robert Browning and his dramatic monologues that subjugate women. Browning created male-dominating speakers in his poetry who controlled female characters due to a patriarchal system that controlled Victorian society. Wealthy noblemen were at the center of power during this period and the patriarch led great influence on gender issues. "Significantly, this program required the strict regulation of male sexual desire, thereby "insuring," according to Victorian patriarchal ideology, the application of male energy towards other purposes – most often those required of work and intellect"(l 51) states Efird believing this is the root of violence directed to females by males in Victorian Literature.


Arthur Turner apples are the cooking apple you should choose if apple sauce is your thing. They make the supreme sauce, cooking down to a soft, richly flavoured puree. I was inclined to say 'to die for' but the sad note is that the tree was possibly renamed Arthur Turner in memory of the breeder's son who died in the field in Flanders in 1915. The apples are also excellent for baking but a bit too soft when cooked for pies and tarts. This is an early cropping tree and so the fruit does not store well, but ripening happens over a period of several weeks meaning they can be picked fresh over an extended period. At the end of the season, the fruit has sweetened sufficiently to be eaten straight off the tree.
If you are looking for more than one apple tree or Arthur Turner is not for you, browse our full range of apple trees or see the full variety of fruit trees for sale.
Arthur Turner is unique among apple trees in having won an RHS Award of Garden Merit for its flowers. So whatever else you do, plant it where it will be seen often in late spring. It is a strong growing variety, not quite up with Bramley but much bigger than say Laxton's Superb. So once established (give it a head start of 2-3 years) it is a superb host for a medium sized rambling rose.
Use: Cooking. Turns to a soft puree. Wonderfully creamy and completely unlike the taste of a Bramley.
Training. Because it is a spur bearer, Arthur Turner is suitable for growing as a cordon or espalier.
Tree's growth habit: Strong. Upright form.
Pollination: Arthur Turner is in pollination Group C. As a partially self-fertile apple, it will produce some fruit all by itself, but the quality and yield is much improved if it is pollinated by another apple tree from pollination Groups B, C or D. Or by a crab apple of course.
Harvest: From late August (in a good year) until October. Apples are best used fresh from the tree or within a couple of weeks of picking.
Arthur Turner - Did you know?
All apple trees prefer a rich soil with decent drainage, protection from the wind and plenty of sun. Apple trees like clay soil, as long as it is not prone to bad waterlogging. This tree is suitable for organic growing in the more humid West and South of Britain, where scab is more common.
Improving the soil in advance of planting your apple trees will help them establish quickly and be productive for years to come. Dig a hole approximately 1 metre square (not round) and 40 cms deep. Remove any weeds, roots stones and rubbish and mix in a bucket of well rotted compost or manure per tree. Make sure some of it ends up below the roots. Return some of the soil and position the tree so the graft or union is about 5 cms (2") above the finished soil level. Half standards and bushes will need staking and tying. Bang the stake into the hole, to the windward side of the tree before planting as it saves damaging the roots late. Apply Rootgrow if you are using any and return the rest of the soil firming it gently around the roots. Water really well, even if it is wet. Watering helps settle the soil around the roots which is good for quick establishment.
We recommend using Rootgrow - mycorrhizal "friendly fungi" on the roots of all new trees, especially if your soil is on the poor side.

Jay Sean (echte naam: Kamaljit Singh Jhooti) (Londen, 26 maart 1981) is een Britse r&b-zanger.

Biografie

Pre-carrière: 1981-2002
Jay Sean en zijn ouders zijn Sikhs afkomstig uit India, die eind vorige eeuw naar Groot-Brittannië emigreerden voor een betere toekomst. Hij liep school aan het Sir George Monoux College en studeerde geneeskunde aan Queen Mary, Universiteit van Londen. Voordat hij hiermee stopte, had hij een begin gemaakt aan zijn muzikale carrière door het nummer One Minute te maken voor Virgin Records, dat in handen viel van Rishi Rich. De artiestennaam Jay komt van zijn achternaam Jhooti en zijn bijnaam was Shaan, wat de vorm kreeg van Sean.

Me Against Myself: 2003-2006
Sean verzekerde zich door een miljoen pond platencontract te sluiten met Virgin. Zijn eerste notering in de UK Singles Chart was de eerste single van zijn debuutalbum, een samenwerking met Rishi Rich and Juggy D in het nummer Dance with You (Nachna Tere Naal) dat een top twintig hit werd. De tweede single van zijn debuutalbum Me Against Myself kwam hoger, Eyes on You bereikte de zesde plek. De derde single Stolen, dat het nummer Chura Liya van Asha Bosle en Mohammed Rafi samplet, was zijn grootste single tot nu toe, door de vierde positie te bereiken. Het album werd door de kritieken geprezen en werd commercieel ook een succes, zowel in het Verenigd Koninkrijk als in Pakistan, India waar het ruim twee miljoen keer over de toonbank ging. Hij had een cameo-optreden in de film Kyaa Koll Hai Hum en zong daarvoor de soundtrack Dil Mera (One Night) in. Door het vele uitstel van zijn tweede album, besloot Sean Virgin te verlaten.

My Own Way: 2007-2008
Na het vertrek, keerde Sean eind 2007 terug met de leadsingle Ride It van het album My Own Way, dat door de samenwerking van zijn eigen label Jayded en 2Point9 Records het licht zag. Met dit album ging de zanger nog meer de r&b-kant op en liet de muzikale Indiase invloeden los. Het album debuteerde op de zesde plek in de Britse albumlijst en doordat de tweede single Maybe net als diens voorganger de top twintig bereikte, kreeg Sean het voor elkaar dat hij vijf achtereenvolgende singles in de Britse toptiennoteringen heeft. Het leverde hem twee nominaties tijdens de MOBO Awards op.

All or Nothing: 2008 tot heden
Tijdens de MOBO Awards 2008 maakte Sean bekend dat hij een contract met Cash Money had getekend, de platenmaatschappij van rapper Lil Wayne. De eerste single Down was dan ook een samenwerking met de rapper. Voor het Amerikaanse debuutalbum nam Sean nieuwe nummers op. Deze staan samen met enkele nummers van My Own Way op het album All or Nothing.

Q: ampersand problem with wordpress categories I have an array of categories, some with an & i.e. events & entertainment.
My script imports these categories and gets the ID of each using its name.
i.e.: $cat_id = array(get_cat_id($linearray[0]),get_cat_id($linearray[1]),get_cat_id($linearray[2]),get_cat_id($linearray[3]));
My script then adds a post to wp using these category ID's.
My problem is that categories from my import with the & are not imported.
These same categories (when an email notice is sent) break the email at the &.
Is there a simple workaround to this?

A: When you are writing post, instead of & you can write & there and it will be translated to & without any problems.
Also you could use the str_replace function to convert that to & eg:
$new_text = str_replace('&', '&', $your_string);

A: I think for some circumstances I used my own custom sluggify function for Wordpress:
function sluggify($text) {
   $text = strtolower(htmlentities($text));
   $text = str_replace("&", "and", $text);
   $text = str_replace("andamp;", "and", $text);
   $text = str_replace(get_html_translation_table(), "-", $text);
   $text = str_replace(" ", "-", $text);
   $text = preg_replace("/[-]+/i", "-", $text);
   return $text;
}

Note the two repetitive lines:
$text = str_replace("&", "and", $text);
$text = str_replace("andamp;", "and", $text);

Although repetitive, it's quite necessary!
For the ignorant commenter below - it's a reusable function where you can pass in any string value and it will be slugged. So, workable for the above case.

A: There is a WP built-in function for this:
$new_text = wp_specialchars_decode($your_string);

From the documentation:

Converts a number of HTML entities into their special characters.
Specifically deals with: &, <, >, ", and '.

Q: Angular events duration I need to create an Angular web app and I need to log some performance time related data:

*

*time between the button click and API call is fired

*time between the API call is fired and the API returns the response

*time between the API returns the response and data is render

How should I achieve this? What technologies should I use? Thanks.

A: A very simple solution would be using session storage. Get the time when the button click event executes, the time right before api call, the time in your first 'map' or 'subscribe' from the api call, and then use the function ngAfterViewInit() to know it has re-rendered.
first is button click...
buttonClicked() {
   const nowMilliseconds = Date.now();
   window.sessionStorage.setItem('button', nowMilliseconds);
   this.myService.callApi()
      .subscribe(response => {
           const responseMilliseconds = Date.now();
           window.sessionStorage.setItem('response', responseMilliseconds);
           // make sure to set some value here that will make the screen have to re-render
       });
}

ngAfterViewInit() {
   const renderedNow = Date.now();
   window.sessionStorage.setItem('rendered', renderedNow);
}

And in your service...
callApi() {
   const callingApi = Date.now();
   window.sessionStorage.setItem('apicall', callingApi);

   return this.httpService.get('myApiEndpoint');
}

Then to get the values after everything is done you can look in your developer tools and look at the milliseconds and calculate the difference, or you can get them within the angular code with window.sessionStorage.getItem('apicall'); ... replace apicall with the other strings to get the other values.

A: You could try performance.now() API, like:

function fire() {
  // Init
  var moments = {};
  moments.evt1 = performance.now();
  moments.evt2 = performance.now();
  setTimeout(function() {
    moments.evt3 = performance.now();
    // Get times
    var results = [];
    results.push((moments.evt2 - moments.evt1) + 'ms');
    results.push((moments.evt3 - moments.evt1) + 'ms');
    // Show results
    document.getElementById('result').innerHTML = results.join(', ');
  }, 500);

}

    <button type="button" onclick="fire()">Click me</button>

Assassin's Creed Odyssey's educational Discovery Tour is out today
By Fraser Brown 2019-09-10T11:26:54Z
Take a guided tour from Herodotus and pals.
Assassin's Creed Odyssey is almost a year old, but Ubisoft is still cranking out significant free updates. Earlier in the month, the final quest in the Lost Tales of Greece series was added to the game, reuniting you with the extremely chatty Socrates, and today you can start soaking up the history of the ancient world by jumping into one of the new Discovery Tours.
One of the things I miss from the older Assassin's Creeds are the historical asides. Whenever you came across an interesting building, you'd be able to do a bit of light reading on its historical importance. That's been done away with, unfortunately, so while Odyssey is still full of locations rich in history, you need to discover it all for yourself. But now you can take a Discovery Tour.
There are five different tours and tour guides, including your old mate Herodotus, covering the themes of philosophy, famous cities, daily life, war and myths. Once you finish the tours, you'll be quizzed, so pay attention. Completing objectives will also net you rewards like new avatars and mounts.
While Odyssey is by far the most fantastical of all the Assassin's Creeds, it's still the product of loads of historical research. For the Discovery Tour, Ubisoft has also teamed up with a variety of historians and classicists to make sure they're not spouting nonsense.
The Discovery Tour is available for free to all players today, but you can also get a standalone version on Uplay for $20.

\section{INTRODUCTION}
\label{sec:intro}
 Sign language recognition (SLR) is the task of recognizing individual signs or tokens called glosses from a given segment of signing video clip. There are two types of sign language recognition system: sensor- based, and vision-based. The disadvantage of the first method is that it is expensive, requires wearing sensors to recognize gestures, and is also unstable in some environments.
 Much research endeavored to develop high-performance SLR. But most of these systems require large computational power including GPU usage. We present SLR system on CPU, that perform about 3 predictions per second on a Apple Macbook pro16 (2021) m1 pro 16gb. Our code is available at \cite{slr_rsl_github}. Considering that existing word-level russian sign language datasets do not provide a large-scale vocabulary of signs, we firstly collect large-scale word-level signs in RSL as well as their corresponding annotations. Further we will introduce a new large-scale Russian Sign Language (RSL) video dataset, containing more than 240000 gloss samples performed by 5 signers. We select 4 signers for training and the remaining 1 signer for testing.

\section{RELATED WORKS}
\subsection{Sign Language Datasets}
Sign Language Recognition (SLR) achieves significant progress and obtained high recognition accuracy in recently years due to the development on practical deep learning architectures and the surge of computational power.
In summary, the current publicly available datasets are constrained by one or more of the following: limited vocabulary size, short video or total duration, limited domain.
Several benchmarks have been proposed for American (WLASL, MS-ASL, How2Sign, Boston ASL LVD, ASLLVD), German (DGS Kinect 40), Chinese (Isolated SLR500, NMFs- CSL), and Turkish (AUTSL) sign languages. RSL datasets, on the other hand, are scarce. Table \ref{tab:summary-datasets} provides an overview of the large-scale isolated and continuous sign language datasets

Many existing sign language datasets contain isolated signs. But most real-world use continuous sign language
There are no russian continuous sign language datasets. Our dataset consists of 2644 signs performed by 5 different signers and 244101 isolated sign video samples in total. RSL dataset can be used both for the sign language recognition task and for the sign language translation task.

\subsection{Sign language recognition.}

The early sign language automation tasks were mainly for sign language recognition. Initially, due to technical limitations, research on sign language recognition was focused on hand-crafted features computed for hand shape and motion \cite{Farhadi2007, Tamura1988, Fillbrandt2003}. Pose \cite{Buehler2009, Camgoz2017, Cooper2011, Ong2012, Pfister2014}, face \cite{Farhadi2007, Koller2015, Nguyen2008} and mouth \cite{Antonakos2015, KollerNey2014,Koller2015} have then been widely used as part of the recognition pipelines.

For real-life communication between the hearing and the deaf people, the later emerging Continuous Sign Sentences Recognition. Koller et al. \cite{Koller2017} present a hybrid approach based on CNN-RNN-HMM. More recently 3D CNNs have been adopted due to their representation capacity for spatio-temporal data \cite{Bilge2019, Camgoz2016, Huang2015, Albanie2020, Li2020}.  There have been efforts to use sequence-to-sequence translation models for sign language translation \cite{Camgoz2018}, though this has been limited to the weather discourse of RWTH-Phoenix, and the method is limited by the size of the training set. The recent work of \cite{LiYu2020} localises signs in continuous news footage to improve an isolated sign classifier. Some authors use additional modalities like RGB-D data \cite{Sincan2020}. Two recent concurrent works \cite{Albanie2020,Li2020} showed that I3D models  significantly outperform their pose-based counterparts.
The Video Transformer Network (VTN), originally proposed by Kozlov et al. \cite{kozlov2020lightweight}, was used for isolated sign recognition on the corpus of Flemish sign language and achieved promising results (74.7\% accuracy on 100 classes), which were mainly limited by the size of the labeled dataset. Recent work \cite{DeCoster2021} apply VTN model  with hand cropping and pose flow (VTN-PF), achieves 92.92\% accuracy on the balanced test set of AUTSL.
\cite{Jiang2021} propose a Sign Language Graph Convolution Network (SL-GCN) to model the embedded dynamics and a novel Separable Spatial Temporal Convolution Network (SSTCN) to exploit skeleton features.

\section{Using pretrained models and fine tuning}
Sign language recognition (SLR) involves extracting features from videos and classifying them. The main challenge in working with sign languages is the lack of large datasets. To address this issue, large models trained on more general data are commonly used and then fine-tuned for a specific (downstream) task. In this work, we investigate the impact of incorporating data from other sign languages on the performance of a model.

We tested the most widely used models for the Action Recognition task - VideoSWIN Transformer\cite{Liu2021} and MViT\cite{Fan2021}, pre-trained on the Kinetics600 dataset. Then, we fine-tuned the models on other sign language datasets. In the Table \ref{tab:results-our-model}, the entry "RSL → AUTSL → WLASL" implies that we took the Kinetics pre-trained network, fine-tuned it on the RSL dataset, then on the AUTSL dataset, and finally on the WLASL dataset.

The obtained metrics show that the use of datasets from other sign languages leads to a significant improvement in the recognition of sign gestures.

\section{Real-time inference}

After the model has been trained, it is necessary to convert it to the ONNX format to use it in real time. The system takes frames from a web camera as input and produces predicted values that are displayed on the screen. The real-time operation of the system differs from the training mode. In training mode, there is usually one gloss for each video fragment. But in inference mode, there may be one gloss, multiple gloss, or no glosses in the fragment. To avoid excessive false triggers, especially when there are no glossees on the video, we selected the confidence threshold of the neural network, averaged adjacent predictions, and selected how often to send sets of frames to the neural network for prediction.

In inference mode, the input to the neural network is not individual gestures but continuous speech, and the spoken phrase on the video is used as ground truth. Therefore, if we focused on average accuracy during training, WER (Word Error Rate) became the main metric during inference. We present the WER values for different thresholds, strides, and numbers of forecasts for averaging (Table \ref{tab:optimal-parameters}).

\begin{table}[!ht]
\caption{\label{tab:optimal-parameters} Inference time WER with different parameters on test set.

\section{CONCLUSION}

In this work, we focused on investigating two questions: how fine-tuning on datasets from other sign languages helps improve sign recognition quality, and whether sign recognition is possible in real-time without using GPU. For experiments, we used well-established architectures VideoSWIN Transformer and MViT.

The results of the experiments show a significant improvement in sign recognition quality when models are fine-tuned on other sign languages. As seen in Table \ref{tab:extended-all-results-table}, our methods can achieve relatively high classification accuracy on WLASL and AUTSL validation subsets. We achieved sign recognition quality comparable to the SAM-SLR model, while our models can work on CPU in real-time, providing 2-3 predictions per second on an Apple Macbook Pro 16 (2021) M1 Pro 16GB, while SAM-SLR is an ensemble of 6 models.

In this article, we provide the code for reproducing the training experiments as well as for converting the models into the ONNX format \cite{slr_rsl_github}.

To have a better life
This Could Be the Next Big Pot Stock
A more effective way of delivering CBD could unlock significant growth opportunities for this unknown small-cap.
Pot stocks are a dime a dozen these days. There is no shortage of companies out there touting that their cannabis is higher quality than their peers. For investors, it makes investing in a cannabis company all the more difficult, especially when it comes to finding up-and-coming stocks.
Being able to tell which stock is a pretender and which one is the real deal isn't an easy task, but this little-known pot stock has a competitive advantage over its peers.
A biotech company that's turned to cannabis
Amyris (NASDAQ:AMRS) is in the business of health and wellness and purports to produce pure ingredients for its customers. In March 2019, the company announced that it signed an agreement worth potentially $300 million with Lavvan, a then-recently formed company. The companies agreed to work together in bringing cannabinoid products to market, with Amyris focusing on the research and development part of the process.
In 2019, Amyris recorded revenue of $18.3 million related to the deal. It represented a modest 12% of the company's total sales for the year but it's an exciting growth opportunity for investors. There's a profit-sharing component of the agreement that could see Amyris collect payments for 20 years once the cannabinoid products are commercialized.
Why there could be an even bigger opportunity for Amyris
The agreement that Amyris has in place with Lavvan is an attractive one, but that could just be the start of its opportunities in the industry. In March, Amyris unveiled the results of a study conducted by the Cosmos Technical Center. The study found that Amyris' method for delivering cannabidiol (CBD) through sugarcane squalane was more effective than hemp seed oil and other ways of carrying CBD. It was able to penetrate the skin at a much higher level. The company's Neossance Squalane product was able to deliver 10 to 40 times more CBD to the skin compared to other oils.
Hemp seed oil is popular in the cannabis industry. A quicker and more impactful way to deliver CBD could open up many opportunities for Amyris in the CBD market. The company has said it's applied for a patent to protect its methodology of delivering CBD and other cannabinoids through the use of squalane. Amyris stated that it "believes it will be the first company to provide highly pure and efficacious CBD from this technology at commercial scale."
If the company can secure a patent on a superior method for delivering CBD, it could be a key differentiator. Not only will that help the company meet milestones related to its agreement with Lavvan, but it could lead to other opportunities within the cannabis industry as well. Being able to produce high-quality cannabis products is one way a company can differentiate itself from its peers and justify a higher price and better margins in the process.
Does this make Amyris a buy?
Cannabis could be what sets Amyris' stock on fire. A patent to produce high-quality CBD could help the company land deals with other companies in the cannabis industry.
The California-based company is still in its early growth stages. On May 8, Amyris released its first-quarter results which saw revenue growth of 103% from the prior-year period. In 2019, its top line grew by 140%. Despite the challenges and uncertainty that COVID-19 presents for the company and its customers, Amyris still expects to see sales for 2020 to rise by 44%, with recurring sales expected to increase by 80%. The challenge for the company remains the bottom line, where Amyris has been in the red in all but one of its past 10 quarters.
Before investing in Amyris, investors should also take into account the SEC's previous investigations into the company and Amyris' failure to come through on promises in the past. While the company has high hopes for the future, that doesn't mean they'll come to fruition. And until its squalane delivery method can deliver proven results, investors will be taking on some risk if they buy shares of the company.
Currently, the stock trades at a modest 2.5 times its revenue and it could be a bargain buy for long-term cannabis investors. Year to date, shares of Amyris are up nearly 40% while the S&P 500 is down by 6%.

Inspirational Quotes by Gerry Adams (Northern Irish Politician)
Gerry Adams (b.1948,) fully Gerard Adams, was a Northern Irish politician and former president of Sinn Féin 1983 –2018. An important figure in the Northern Ireland peace process, his leadership made possible the 1994 cease-fire and the 1998 Good Friday agreement.
Born in Belfast, Northern Ireland, Adams became politically active at an early age, joining the Irish Nationalist Party, Sinn Féin, the political wing of the Irish Republican Army (IRA.)
During the '70s, Adams was successively interned and then released because of his connections with the IRA. In 1978, he was selected vice-president of Sinn Féin and later president. In 1982, he was elected to the Northern Ireland Assembly and the following year to the U.K. parliament from Belfast West. He declined to take up his seat at Westminster as per party policy and, in the 1992 general election, lost it to Joe Hendron of the Social Democratic and Labour Party.
Adams was one of Sinn Féin's chief architects to explore a peaceful settlement to sectarian violence in Northern Ireland. Due to government censorship, his voice was one of several outlawed in 1988 from being broadcast by the media. However, per electoral legislation, this ban was temporarily lifted during the 1992 election. It was raised again in 1995 as part of the peace process formed to end sectarian violence.
Adams represented Belfast West (1998–2010) in the Northern Ireland Assembly before winning a seat in Ireland's Dáil (parliament,) representing Louth and East Meath (2011–20.) His works include Cage Eleven (1990) and the autobiography Before the Dawn (1996.)

Massive blow as Emery confirms Arsenal star's injury after Man United draw
Randy O. | December 6, 2018 | Arsenal | No Comments
Arsenal manager Unai Emery has confirmed that his side has been hit by a new injury blow after the draw against Manchester United in the Premier League on Wednesday.
The Gunners travelled to Manchester on Wednesday on the back of a long unbeaten run in all competitions.
Sunday's 4-2 victory over Tottenham Hotspur at the Emirates stadium saw many people deem Arsenal as the favourites to beat Jose Mourinho's side.
However, it did not go so well for the Gunners who had to settle for a 2-2 draw after giving up the lead on two occasions, immediately after scoring.
Matters did get even more frustrating for Unai Emery who lost important centre-back Rob Holding to an injury.
The young defender has been a regular in the Gunners' starting eleven this season and in his post-match interview, Emery confirmed his fears over Holding's injury.
"[It was] the worst news for us," the Arsenal manager said after the game
"Rob Holding, we are going to wait for the doctors, but it is a big injury. It's his knee."
Arsenal dropped out of the top four on Wednesday, due to Tottenham's comfortable victory over Southampton at home.

I'm scratching my head over this one: Google has added a new content block on place pages that, quite often, gives free advertising to a local business's competition. It's called "Nearby places you might like" and it appears below reviews on the place page; the content block will show up to ten recommended businesses — but sometimes less. At the moment, the place page for Seattle's Fairmont Olympic Hotel shows only two nearby suggestions, but one of them is the bar at the W Hotel.
Worse, consider the recommended businesses on this place page for Il Bistro, a restaurant in downtown Seattle:
Six of the suggestions are restaurants, and two others are specialty food stores. Il Bistro went to the trouble of claiming its listing, adding extra business details, photos, and coupons, and Google "rewards" it by recommending six other restaurants. That's surely not the kind of content Il Bistro wants on its place page. And I can't imagine the Fairmont Hotel will be happy to discover that Google is recommending the W Hotel's bar.
Google says it's using "a broad set of signals" to determine what businesses to recommend, and the suggestions may or may not share any specific characteristics; i.e., restaurant place pages won't necessarily show nearby restaurants … but Mike Blumenthal shows a jeweler's place page that recommends a full 10 other jewelers.
Google pitches these nearby suggestions as a very user-friendly feature, but it's certainly not business-friendly. Perhaps a compromise is in order, like showing nearby suggestions only on place pages that haven't been claimed? If the business owner claims his/her Google local business listing, then no recommendations get added. How about it, Google?
Postscript From Danny Sullivan: Also see Is Google is Stealing Your Content and Hijacking Your Traffic on our Sphinn social news site. There's a debate going over how much is too much in terms of what Google puts on these pages, from a business owner's perspective.

The Force is Strong and Spoilery in Last Rogue One Trailer
Three weeks and we can settle into the latest chapter of the Star Wars universe. Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is out with its last non-TV trailer. It's all part of Disney's Magical Holiday Celebration. Yeah, the ticket sales on this will be magical.
Quick note on the trailer. It spoils a scene we've all loved from the trailers. Nothing major, but it would have been more impactful to see it on the silver screen instead of YouTube. There's about a 20-second intro from Disney CEO Bob Iger and then just over a minute of Rogue One goodness.
X-Wings with more X-Wings. I can't wait. I know we see glimpses of a Rebellion fleet, but I'm doubting we see any capital ship battles. Also, K-2SO will be the comedic relief in the film. Watching him snatch the grenade out of the air and toss it back nonchalantly is great.
No Star Wars Opening Crawl in Rogue One
It's been rumored, and now we have it confirmed. Fans who have seen the first twenty minutes of the film say it opened up with the traditional 'A long time ago…' before immediately cutting to the action. Lucasfilm has hinted it's to differentiate from the episodic films, but damn, I want the crawl. Nothing gets the Star Wars goosebumps like the opening crawl.
Box Office Titan?
Currently, the projection for Rogue One is an opening weekend of 100-140 million dollar haul. Advanced tickets have not gone on sale and will be heavily compacted. Fans have questioned why and the answer is Moana. Disney has another hit and didn't want to detract from the animated film starring The Rock.
Comparisons will be made between the ticket sales of Rogue One and The Force Awakens. There's simply no way Rogue One can outstrip last year's entry that hauled in $248 million in its opening weekend domestically. It was the first live-action entry to the Star Wars franchise since 2005's Revenge of the Sith. It was hyped beyond and had the original cast.
Rogue One is an all-new cast for a story we know, but it's never touched on after A New Hope. Hitting $248 million in its opening weekend is nearly impossible. And it doesn't have to. The number above is tracking. Disney's marketing machine has only started to flex the marketing muscle. Any and all things Star Wars will be pushed and it wouldn't be surprising to see the film open north of $150 million. Lucasfilm and Disney want to see triple digits to show standalone films are their own powerhouses at the box office. Using the story of stealing the Death Star plans is a perfect way to bridge that gap.
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story lands in theaters on December 16. Our nephew has already penciled Alex and me in for driving five hours to Georgia to see it with him.

EUREKA, Calif. (FOX 13) - A California deputy spent his whole life colorblind, but a thoughtful gift changed his view of the world.
"Dishmon has been color blind his whole life," the agency explained on its Facebook page, "which has sometimes been a source of frustration for him and others around him. Freese and other correctional deputies pitched in to purchase enchroma glasses for Dishmon.
The sheriff's office shared emotional video of him receiving the glasses. When Dishmon placed them on, tears started flowing for between him and Freese.
"A different world," he responded.
Another deputy was seen holding a bouquet of colorful balloons for Dishmon.
"Oh my goodness," Dishmon said with a shaky voice. He hugged Freese and thanked her and the entire department. He said his wife will want to watch the sunset with him.
In an open field, he called his wife, telling her he can see color for the first time in his life.
Dishmon's fellow deputies explained it will take a couple of weeks for his eyesight to adjust to the glasses. At the end of the social media video, he hugs Freese again as they look out into the grassy field.

Oasis Centre for Reproductive The Info Blog Medicine, a Hyderabad-based in-vitro fertilisation (IVF) chain of clinics, said on Monday that it has raised $6.2 million (Rs 40 crore) from India Life Sciences Fund II.
Founded in 2009 by infertility specialist Durga G Rao and entrepreneur Kiran Gadela, Oasis currently operates three IVF centres in Hyderabad and one in Vijayawada. The promoters plan to use the funding to open 20 more clinics in Bengaluru, Chennai and other cities during the next five years.
Healthcare-focused India Life Sciences Fund had made significant investments in other Indian pharma and healthcare players, including Hyderabad-based Gland Pharma in the past. For Oasis this is the first investment from outside.
"Since inception, Oasis' key focus has been to establish a center of excellence with transparent, ethical and evidence-based practice to treat infertility. India Life Sciences Fund backing us is further testimony to the quality of service we provide at Oasis. The investment would be used for starting 20 more centers in the next five years, with the primary focus on expansion in South India," Kiran Gadela, co-founder and managing director at Oasis.
The IVF market is predicted to grow at a CAGR of 10.1 per cent in the next five years to reach little over Rs 5,000 crore by 2021, with infertility being a huge unmet need, according to Anula K Jayasuria, managing director, InvAscent, the investment advisor to EILSF (Evolvence India Life Sciences fund) and India Life Sciences Fund II. Jayasuria has joined the board of Oasis.
"Oasis, which has a strong focus on research, will also create extensive training programmes, in both clinical and embryology services. We have developed world-class systems, processes, and protocols and our multi-disciplinary teams work diligently to implement them. This is reflected in our excellent results," said Oasis cofounder Durga G Rao.


The Chancellor, Philip Hammond recently paid a visit to an independent brewery in Liverpool and confirmed that the duty rates on beers, spirits and most ciders will be frozen at the current rates for another year from 1 February 2019. These measures mean that the average price for a bottle of whisky will be £1.50 less and a pint of beer 14p less than if the rates had increased as expected based on the duty escalator.The Chancellor hailed the duty freeze as offering much needed support to the pubs and drink industry as well as for beer lovers who can raise a toast as Dry January has finished. However, it was not all good news as an RPI inflationary increase in the duty band for high strength sparkling cider known as 'white ciders' with alcohol levels above 5.5% came into effect from 1 February 2019. The price of wine also increased by RPI inflation from the same date.Philip Hammond, Chancellor of Exchequer, said:'These duties would have otherwise come into effect today (1 February 2019) but instead we're supporting an industry that employs 900,000 people across the UK. Whether it's local pubs, craft cider mills or independent distillers, this government is helping these businesses to thrive and ensuring they remain at the heart of our economy.'The government is also looking at the efficiency of the Small Brewers Relief to make sure the scheme continues to support the country's smallest beer makers, helping them to grow and expand into new markets.

A video tweet is 6x more likely to be retweeted on Twitter than a photo tweet.
Videos give you more time and space to get your message across.
If you've ever struggled to fit a message into a limited character tweet, you understand how frustrating it can be to communicate an effective message on social media. Videos give you more time and space to convey your message and – better yet – people are more inclined to watch them than to read text.
Videos can drive traffic to your website.
Studies show that 74% of viewers who watched a product explanation video went on to buy that product! Videos with strong calls-to-action can incentivize your viewers to click through to your website or landing page to perform a specific action. You can even go beyond organic posts and use videos in your social media advertising. Video ads tend to outperform text ads on almost all social media platforms.
Videos help increase brand awareness.
As your social media users share and engage with your videos, you're subsequently building a stronger brand awareness. Video is one of the most shared types of content on social media – especially if it is entertaining. 76% of users said they are likely to share a branded video with their friends if it was entertaining. Shares are a great way to increase your organic reach on social media while making more and more people aware of your products and services.


There are now high hopes of developing Bald Hill into a popular area for outdoor activities.
The March 7 council meeting heard that there are many options to pursue for the area, following a request late last year by East Ward Councillor Jarrod Bingham to look into developing the area into a destination for outdoor activities.
The Bald Hill Activation Project Background Paper and Scoping Document was tabled at the meeting, finding that the site has various topographical, access and planning control constraints that make development for residential and organised sport difficult, however, the site is well suited for a range of alternative uses.
The report noted that activities that would be friendly to the Bald Hill area, such as walking, cycling and running, are among the most popular outdoor activities for Victorians, and that there is a growing market within Victoria and Australia of day visitation for mountain biking and trail running, with visitors estimated to spend on average $77 per person per day.
It also noted the State Government has provided funding for the development of similar sites in Harcourt ($2 million) and Creswick ($2.56 Million) in response to the trends in active recreation aimed at attracting higher visitation to the towns.
"The site has potential to be developed as a Regional Level facility that caters for Recreational walking, running, horse riding and cycling; Higher intensity trails running and fitness; and as a Mountain bike facility," the report reads.
Funding is available from the State Government to undertake a feasibility study into recreation and economic benefits of developing the site for active recreation purposes.
Council officers will now pursue funding for a feasibility study, including a bid for $30,000 from council's budget but also exploring government funding options.
